Corrine Hansen Hunt, of Boise, passed away January 7, 2014 peacefully at the age of 89. She was being lovingly cared for by the staff of Paramount Parks and her children.
Corrine was born on June 11, 1924 to Arthur and Gertrude Hansen in Boise, Idaho. She attended Boise High School and Boise Junior College and the University of Idaho.
While at the University of Idaho, Corrine joined the Gamma Phi Beta Sorority. In later life, she stayed active with the sorority serving on the Panhellenic Council.
Corrine met her husband, Harold W. Hunt, of New York, during WWII when he was stationed at Mountain Home Air Base in 1943. They married at St Mary's in Boise in 1948 and began their lives together in Boulder, Colorado, where Harold completed his Engineering degree in 1950.
Harold's profession took the family around the country. The first stop was Southern California where their five children were born. Next stop on their adventure together was Seattle, WA in 1960. Harold pursued his interest in Space Aeronautics with Boeing and Corrine enriched their lives with her love of all things in nature and the outdoors. In 1961 the family returned to California and resided in Santa Maria where Corrine involved herself with the design of a new home to be built and pursued her watercolor artwork and gardening.
Years that followed were full of all the activities that Corrine loved to share including gardening, art, and ballet. Summer vacations were spent in California and Idaho. The family loved the outdoors. The years were filled with camping, fishing and boating.
In 1967 Harold was tapped by Boeing to be part of the NASA engineering team for the moon landing and her family relocated to Merritt Island, Florida. Within the first year Harold was diagnosed with a rare bone cancer and died in April of 1969.
Corrine and the family relocated to Boise, Idaho, home for Corrine where she could care for her own aging parents and provide a safe environment to raise her kids. Everyone settled in and Corrine found success with work for the State of Idaho's Department of Insurance and later with the Department of Health.
The spirit of adventure she had instilled in her kids led to a trip around the country in a motorhome in 1972. She agreed to this venture, without hesitation, after being confronted on an Easter morning ambush by all her children. What an experience! Two months of wanderlust traveling the entire United States and much of Canada.
As her children grew up and began to leave home, Corrine started her own floral business, the "Spring Garden". The business was a success encompassing all forms of art work in this venture.
Corrine's love of McCall, Idaho led her to invest in a property in 1976. Much loving work went in to cleaning it up and a new adventure began. Corrine's life between Boise and McCall was a return to art and nature. Corrine's art took off with her best works ever. Many of these pieces were sold at the "Visions of Art" Gallery, a co-op she founded with a handful of other aspiring McCall artists.
In 1989 Corrine retired from The Department of Health and began to pursue other interests. She attended Notre Dame University for a term and began traveling abroad. Her journeys took her to Medjagoria, Jerusalem, Rome, Denmark and Great Britain.
In 1993 a new cabin was built, close to the lake, and she settled in full-time in McCall. Her son, Ryan, took loving care to build it for her with all the natural pine and openness she desired. She was very involved with the Lady of the Lake Catholic Church and taught Kindergarten Bible Lessons. The stained glass windows were her design and she worked with the glass artists to build them. Summers were full of visits from her children and their spouses and by now a passel of grandkids; Nathan, Lauren, Mollie, Anna, Riley, Courtney, Christian, Pilar, Melissa, Morgan and Hallie.
In 2003 Corrine moved in with her son Dane and daughter-in-law Carrie, in Eagle. They took on her everyday care and Corrine thrived in their family with granddaughters Melissa, Morgan and Hallie. They had many wonderful years together.
In 2012 Corrine moved into Paramount Parks where the staff and the loving team of Hearts of Hospice became part of the family. They were wonderful.
Corrine's lasting gift, so precious, to her children is the gift of faith in God and Jesus Christ, her spirit of adventure and her consistent and enthusiastic positive outlook on life and love of her family.
She is survived by her sister, Lorraine Hansen Moats, of Woodinville, WA; and her children: PJ Hunt, of Sammamish, WA (Ann), Cecily Hunt Ellis, of Boise, ID, Ryan Hunt, of Boise, ID (Kim), Cory Alfaro (Glenn), of Spokane, WA and Dane Hunt (Carrie), of Eagle, ID; her grandchildren: Nathan Hunt, Lauren Hunt, Mollie Hunt, Anna Hunt, Riley Hunt, Courtney Alfaro, Christian Alfaro, Pilar Alfaro, Melissa Gould-Hunt, Morgan Gould-Hunt and Hallie Hunt; and great-grandchild, Noelle Hunt.
Services are to be held at Holy Apostles Catholic Church, 6300 N. Meridian Rd., Meridian. A Vigil Service will be held at 7:00PM, Friday, January 10, 2014. A Funeral Mass will be held on Saturday, January 11, 2014 at 11:00AM. A celebration of Corrine's life and reception will be at Eagle Hills Golf Club from 2:00-4:00PM on Saturday.
Services are under the direction of Accent Funeral Home, Meridian.
